I'm assume he's riding the wind

We Macross Delta now? Why does the voice of this absurdly dressed man sound familiar? Fucking urine sprinklers...

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I'm sure someone will correct me because there's a lot of JoJo in my head and it gets jumbled sometimes, but I think that Super Fly is the Stand that introduces independent Stands to the series. It's an interesting concept that gets used quite a few times going forward. It's more like a curse than a superpower, especially when he tries to "pass it on" to someone else.

First non sentient one, Anubis takes the the first independent stand crown.

 

[JadedWriter]

Based on what Okuyasu has seen why is he assuming this weird ass motherfucker is a non combatant? God damn Josuke's mom can dress.

 

[RubberLuffy]

Yeah I guess Anubis would count, but also not count? Anubis is weird

 

[Style]

You know what the worst part about being trapped in that tower is? This was before Amazon.

 

[JadedWriter]

So this is a stand that not even the wielder of the stand has any control of? Shit.

What a tense episode.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Me: "Your stand is what and does what?"

 

[cntr]

What a tense episode.

This week on Jojo's Bizarre Adventure...

"Kira, TELL ME WHERE THE BOMB IS!! GOD DAMN IT KOICHI, WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME!!"

 

[Rewrite]

This week's episode was amazing man. I love how they're combining all these manga chapters into one episode. Loved it so much.

That's friggin' gorgeous.

 

[Betty]

Jam packed episode, seems from the readers it was a good idea to combine these arcs? Keeps things pretty interesting anyway.

The actual Superfly Stand seems like the absolute worst Stand in the series so far, it has zero benefits for the user.

 

[cntr]

Superfly is definitely up there on the list of shitty stands to have

 

[Fandangox]

The episode is out? What happened with it being delayed to sports or whatevre

I'm waiting to see how it all plays out before I make that judgement. But the idea of an all out assault in a Baccano-style narrative is pretty interesting so far.

Apparently it was only in certain regions of Japan, not nationwide.

I never realized I wanted this so badly for JoJo

Ah I see.

 

[AlimNassor]

This series is so goddamned bizarre.

 

[cntr]

Swiss army callus.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

The metal clanging in Superfly's theme reminds me of The Wretched Automatons track in Nier.

It's about to get topped very, very soon.

[Nightbird]

compared to what he usually wears at home this is actually decent!

 

[Sibersk Esto]

It's nice that Rohan can find so many pen-nib themed accessories.

 

[The Silver]

Why didn't Okuyasu try to use The Hand on the pylon, sounds like it'd be a good loophole, damn it he's too much of a dumbass for that stand.

So the manga had all these events separate? I really like how it is in the anime, makes it feel really important and dynamic.

 

[Reverend Funk]

I'm real confused about the callus knife thing, like, was it inside of it or was it under some weird flap?

 

[KarasuEXE]

I think we got a better angle in the manga:

 

[Neoxon]

Rohan definitely knows fashion.

 

[Astral]

This episode looked really damn good.

 

[turmoil]

Fucking awesome episode.

What kind of personality you must have to develop something like Superfly?

Being a complete shut-in, a exhibitionist, stockholm syndrome?

 

[chrisPjelly]

Wooow, as a manga reader, I'm honestly shocked at how much packing three arcs into a single "assault" arc works. This makes the final build up feel so much more tense and dynamic than any other Jojo parts, in spite of it heavily relying on "they met by fate". In the manga, it was still sort of stand of week, and I could probably see some people getting tired of that had DP decided to stick with that. Amazing storyboarding and directing on DP's part.

Also, I was kinda hoping they would "fix" Toyohiro's origin. If he's already been a hermit for 3 years, then it makes no fucking sense why he would want to escape from there. It would have been so much better if Toyohiro was shot by Yoshihiro back when he was experimenting with the arrow (around the time Kira got Killer Queen), and basically left for dead up on Superfly all this time. This would justify why he's desperate to accept Yoshihiro's opportunity to trap one of Josuke's crew.

I think he was willingly staying there for years, but after he got Superfly, he suddenly didn't have the option to leave and thus wanted to leave. Basically the reverse of how he got Josuke inside the pylon.

I always thought he was just lying about that stuff.

I want to start reading Jojo, is this

Where I should start?

Yes.

 

[Captain Rage Quit 69]

Jonathan looks so pretty on that cover, I wish I could look that handsome when I was 13 or whatever

 

[SolarKnight]

I always thought he was just lying about that stuff.

Those calluses couldn't have come from lies tho.

 

[Mr Touchdown]

I really love Mikitaka in these episodes. He's trying so hard to be friends/not useless.

Also, I know Okuyasu is dumb as hell, but he needs to remember ZA HANDO exists for stuff other than punching.

 

[slightconfuse]

Couldn't Josuke just break the pylon or okaysku use the hand to get Josuke out?

 

[Neoxon]

Couldn't Josuke just break the pylon or okaysku use the hand to get Josuke out?

I thought the same thing, but it may still Josuke into Metal Josuke. Plus Okuyasu isn't that bright.

 

[Kayhan]

The problem with this show is that the episodes are so short and a whole week apart.

 

[slightconfuse]

The hand is the most underused stand this series.

 

[SolarKnight]

Couldn't Josuke just break the pylon or okaysku use the hand to get Josuke out?

Pretty sure the episode showed both of those things to be bad ideas tho

 

[Sou Da]

I knew the ghost dad was involved in this

That was one hell of a screencap bait.

 

[Sesha]

Why are these random stand users allied with Kira and Gentlemen Take Polaroids? Do they get anything out of it? And has Curtis Mayfield had Superfly for three years, or did he get it recently? Is it ever explained? Normally asking this would be too soon as it might get answered in the next episode, but this is JoJo.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Why are these random stand users allied with Kira and Gentlemen Take Polaroids? Do they get anything out of it? Is it ever explained (normally this would be a hasty thing to ask but this is JoJo).

I assume they are just there to be a distraction. Whether or not they are allied with Photoman isn't really the point, if a Stand user appears the group has to take care of it.

 

[Betty]

The hand is the most underused stand this series.

Isn't it? So many uses and it just has such a great colour scheme but Araki gotta Araki.
